Strategic Stabilization Advisors

Strategic Stabilization Advisors (SSA) helps organizations succeed in the world’s toughest environments. We deliver evidence-based, field-informed advisory services in fragile and conflict-affected areas, providing tailored solutions that reduce risk, build resilience, and drive results where they matter most.

Our team brings together former government officials, military leaders, and practitioners with decades of experience in the Middle East, North and Sub-Saharan Africa. Based in the U.S., the Netherlands, France, and Benin, with field teams across West and Central Africa, we combine global insight with local presence to deliver trusted expertise.

We design solutions grounded in context and culture. Our services span three core areas: risk reporting and research that deliver actionable intelligence; stabilization programming that foster trust, strengthen resilience, and reduce exposure to conflict; and brokerage that connects clients with the right actors to secure access, partnerships, and impact. Every engagement is evidence-based, locally informed, and tailored to help organizations navigate complex environments with confidence and achieve lasting results.

We publish timely insights on emerging issues in the regions where we work. Explore our analysis in recent news articles featuring our work, original research that informs policy and practice, and a blog with timely insights from the field.
